[Papervision3D] XRay / logging and AS3 projects

[John Grden]

hehe, yeah, i'm awake now

Kelvin, let me know if you have any questions/suggestions with the logger.
It works well, but it works like the as2 version logger primarily.  Here's a
bit more of an explanation:

log.debug("stringMessage"[, objectToRecurse]);
log.info("stringMessage"[, objectToRecurse]);
log.warn("stringMessage"[, objectToRecurse]);
log.error("stringMessage"[, objectToRecurse]);
log.fatal("stringMessage"[, objectToRecurse]);

the first arg is a string, the second can be anything you want to look at.
If you pass a movieclip, it'll also give you the vitals of it like
x,y,alpha,visible,width,height - very handy.

Also, if you use the debug player, it'll give you the calling method the
trace was generated from - I throw an error on purpose and cause the error
stack to be generated so I can grab the top line and show you where you
generated your trace from.  Lately, I've had a hard time with this in the
latest player version I have, so I'm not sure it's full proof, but it in
earlier versions it worked.

hth,

John
